C++ Break, Continue & Goto Statements: Precise Loop Control Flow

Jump statements alter the normal sequential flow of execution by transferring control unconditionally to another point in the program.

Comparison: break vs continue

#include <iostream>

int main() {
    std::cout << "--- Testing Break (Stops at 5) ---\n";
    for (int i = 1; i <= 10; ++i) {
        if (i == 5) {
            break; // Exits the loop entirely when i reaches 5
        }
        std::cout << i << " ";
    }
    // Output: 1 2 3 4

    std::cout << "\n\n--- Testing Continue (Skips even numbers) ---\n";
    for (int i = 1; i <= 10; ++i) {
        if (i % 2 == 0) {
            continue; // Skips printing for even numbers
        }
        std::cout << i << " ";
    }
    // Output: 1 3 5 7 9
    std::cout << "\n";

    return 0;
}
